USB Lowe Power warning.

Does anyone else get the error message
+01/03/09 3:19:20 PM kernel USB Notification: The device "DataTraveler 2.0" @ 0xfd531000 cannot operate because there is not enough power available+
when they plug in a memory stick into the aluminum keyboard port?

Funny thing is it works with iMac. But on the other hand I found out the reason for this. If I unplug the 30'' Cinema display USB hub from the Mac Pro, the keyboard hub gets enough power, and everything works. So I guess Mac Pro can't provide enough power to 2 USB hubs (one in the display and one in the keyboard). And this is true no matter which USB port they are plugged in at the back (I have not tried the front port, since I don't want to use those for the keyboard).

  • USB Low power?

    I have a few USB devices - some USB 1.1, some 2.0.
    To support my device habit, I picked up a powered USB2 hub - I figured that would be enough, even for me.
    For some annoying reason, however, when I plug something that needs the faintest, little bit of power into it, I get the USB Low Power warning - which renders it quite useless to me.
    Example - the cradle for my Palm Pilot is fine, and works well - but my wacom tablet or my USB2 CF card reader - both of which have a little LED on them, generate the warning.
    I know the hub is getting power - simply by seeing the little lights go out when I unplug it from the mains.
    Devices plugged directly into the powerbook are fine - but 2 ports isn't enough.
    I get the same result with a different powered hub (my old 4 port hub).
    Anyone got any suggestions?

    Hi Brad
    You were overloading the keyboard bus, and should only connect one devices at a time to the keyboard.
    If you are running short of usb ports here's a great little hub with a port on top for flashdrives.

  • USB low power message

    G4 (MDD) running OS X 10.4.11 - Just got a Zoom H2 digital recorder - when I try to connect to USB (via powered hub) I get a low-power warning and no luck connecting (even with the H2 plugged in via A/C). It works fine when I plug directly into the USB port in the back of the computer. There are only 2 USB ports on my G4 - my hub is in one USB port (has my printer and a couple of flash drives in it), and the other onboard port is for my keyboard. This does not seem to be a USB version issue, but rather an available-power issue (?) Can anyone please suggest a solution - do I need to add a USB card (PCI), and if so, what can you recommend for my system? Thanks in advance!!

    Your Mac's USB ports are USB 1.1. Even if you didn't get the low power message, the video transfer would be very slow.
    Suggest you install a USB 2.0 PCI card. See USB 2.0 PCI Cards

  • When I plug in a Lexar thumb drive, I get a "USB Low Power Notice' saying it cannot operate because it needs more power than is available.  This is new.  Thumb drives worked last week.  Any suggestions?  Is this an apple or a Lexar issue?

  • USB "Low Power Notice" when booting up my G5 with a Belkin USB hub attached

    I have a Belkin USB 2.0 hub (FSU237 Rev3) with an external ac adapter.
    Everytime I reboot my G5 (running OS 10.4.6), this window pops up:
    "USB Low Power Notice
    The USB device cannot operate because it needs more power than is available.
    To correct this problem you can:
    1) Plug the device into an electrical outlet if it has a power cord.
    2) Unplug the device and plug it into another USB port on your computer or other device that is plugged into a power cord."
    I have tried the hub plugged into the USB jacks in the back of my G5 as well as the front one. It doesn't work. None of the items plugged into the hub show up on the desktop.
    I have tried the items I have plugged into the hub (my shuffle and my treo phone with sync cable) by plugging them directly into my G5 (all ports) and they work fine. And I used this hub for months on my PC with no problems.
    What could be going on?
    PowerMac G5 Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    You may want to check System Profiler's USB section to see if the hub even shows up in there (you may have to refresh the list if you try different ports).
    I bought one of these hubs for my Quad and it didn't show up at all in System Profiler. Exchanged it for a new one and everything was OK.

  • Apple Keyboard USB Low Power Issue

    OK. I'm using a Windows machine and my G4 for a project and to save space and complexity I bought a Trendnet TK-207 USB switcher to use one keyboard, my G4's, and one mouse, a Mighty Mouse.
    Both mouse and keyboard work fine powered by the HP machine but on the G4 side only the mouse works. MacOS thinks that the keyboard will draw too much current and so doesn't let it work. Since the keyboard works through the TK-207 I know that it doesn't physically draw too much but using System profiler I read that the TK-207 will supply 100mA and that the keyboard is asking for 250mA.
    My question is this. Is there a way to fool MacOS into thinking that the keyboard requires less, which it does, so that I can have it plugged into the switcher all the time? Right now my work-around is to plug the keyboard directly into the G4 when I'm switched to the Mac side and to plug it back into the switcher when I'm using the HP. Not terrible but the one button push would be faster.
    I've thought about buying a USB Y adapter to power the keyboard and have it inserted between the TK-207 and the keyboard. I would plug the 5V only side of the Y into a 500mA powered hub but I'm not sure MacOS would recognize that the keyboard would be getting power from another source since the data/power side of the Y would be plugged into the TK-207.
    An odd situation, to be sure, but maybe someone out there knows more than I do - not really much of a stretch there. Thanks to anyone who may have an idea or could tell me that a Y adapter would work. After all, the cost of the adapter is only $15 so not much of an investment there.

    I have done that. I also have tried plugging it in to a PCI USB 2.0 4-port card that according to system profiler should have 500mA available. I also have plugged it into a 7-port USB powered hub, again with 500mA/port available, with the same result, a "low power" message. It's definitely a software issue with MacOS since the keyboard works fine plugged into the kvm switch with the kvm switch getting its power from a usb port on the back of the HP computer. What I think is happening is that the embedded sofware in the kvm and the keyboard are being read by MacOS and since the kvm says it can only deliver 100mA and the hub in the keyboard says it can deliver 500mA, and the keyboard says it requires 250mA, MacOS won't let it operate. My workaround is simple, plug the keyboard directly into the built in USB port on the G4 when I'm using the Mac, but it sure would be nice to just toggle the computers using the kvm switch only.

  • No low power warning

    For a while now, my PB has stopped giving me the low battery warning. It will go to sleep with 12-21% battery life left. I let this happen maybe once a week or so. Any thoughts?
    Geoff

    Apple says that a properly maintained battery should have 80% capacity at 300 cycles (battery life is generally measured in cycles, not calendar time). If a system is plugged in most of the time, and not drained at least monthly, the power capacity would drop off quicker. Apple's note on battery maintenance is at http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    As noted in the previous post, a battery that loses power suddenly is one sign that a lithium battery is approaching the end of it's life. You can always do a power management unit (PMU) reset to see if that affects anything, follow this Apple note: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449

  • Low power warning for AIR-LAP1242AG-C-K9

    Hi Buddie,
    We purchased some AIR-LAP1242AG-C-K9 , but not perchasing any wireless controller. When I connect the LAP to Cat2950 or Cat2960 PPoE port, all the LAP can not boot normally. It indicates low power, please refer the two pictures attached. But if I use external power cable, the LAP can work well. So, I would like to know two things.
    1. Can I use LAP standalone without using controller ?
    2. If the above is Yes, how should I configure the PPoE on cat2950 to Support LAP correctly?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Jian,
    Q. Can an LAP operate independent of a wireless LAN controller (WLC)?
    A. No, LAPs cannot function independent of WLCs. LAPs function in conjunction with a WLC only. The reason is that the WLC provides all the configuration parameters and firmware that the LAP needs in the registration process.
    So you will need to either send the AP's back and get the IOS version, purchase a WLC or convert the LAP to IOS :(
    Q. How do I distinguish between a regular (autonomous) AP and an LAP?
    A. The easiest way to distinguish between a regular AP and a LAP is to look at the part number of the AP.
    LAP (Lightweight AP Protocol [LWAPP])?Part numbers always begin with AIR-LAPXXXX.
    Autonomous AP (Cisco IOS? Software)?Part numbers always begin with AIR-APXXXX.
    From this good Q&A doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_qanda_item09186a00806a4da3.shtml
    You can convert an access point from lightweight mode back to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS Release that supports autonomous mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3(7)JA or earlier). If the access point is associated to a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is not associated to a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
    Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
    Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
    Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
    Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
    Step 3 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, and c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point.
    Step 4 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
    Step 5 Disconnect power from the access point.
    Step 6 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
    Step 7 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
    Step 8 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
    Step 9 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

  • MacBookPro shuts down with no low power warning.

    Once my battery drains to around 10%, my mac just completely shuts off, with no warning. In the past, I had received a warning.
    I've reset the SMC several times. I've reset the PRAM/NVRAM several times. This has had no effect.
    The shutdowns are occuring both with an Apple branded battery and with a 3rd party battery.
    I've only recently noticed this problem, because for a long time I've been using my laptop more like a desktop, completely on battery. Once I went back to using it as a proper laptop, I began to experience these warningless shutdowns.
    Any advice besides trying to reset the SMC and PRAM again and again?

    I've fixed the problem and want to share my solution.
    I suspected some corrupted system files, so I reinstalled Lion (command-R at start up followed by a large download). This was extremely easy over a T1 connection and resulted in the low battery warning messages reappearing. But the mac still unexpectedly shut down instead of sleeping when the battery got too low.
    So, I did another SMC reset, figuring it might have an effect in conjunction with the newly installed Lion. It worked!  I now see low battery warning messages (at around 6%) followed by sleep (at around 4%).
    I hope this info might help someone else.

  • I get a 'USB over power' warning when I try to connect to my computer

    This just started happening today. The message tells me that the USB port the ipod is connected to will be deactivated. Any ideas?

    I hope when you say that you have "upped my security on the mac" that you have NOT added any 3-party security software, anti-virus, or browser extensions to your Mac.  These types of software do nothing to improve your Mac's security and arguably can introduce vulnerabilities that weren't there in the first place.
    Your best bet for keeping your Mac secure is to just keep your Mac OS, applications, browser, and plugins updated regularly and don't change the settings for Apple's built-in protections.
    And lastly, if you are getting one of those horrible MacKeeper or other aggressive pop-ups on a given website, I would simply recommend to stop visiting that website.
    Lastly, if you are using Google Chrome browser, you can kill the offending pop-up tab by choosing the "Window" menu > "Task Manager", and then "End Process" for the tabs that have locked up the browser.

  • Problems with multiple USB devices. (Possible Low Power on USB Bus)

    I believe I'm having an issue with the USB bus or one of my devices that I have installed on my iMac.
    I purchased this iMac along with a printer (HP C4280 All-in-One) as part of a promotion deal. I also have wireless logitech USB mouse, and iPhone and an 80gb 5th Gen iPod.
    My problem has to do with syncing the iPod and iPhone. Normally I have the printer attached to the iMac along with the USB mouse. Both devices function as expected. However I have problems when I connect the iPhone or iPod.
    iPod Symptoms: When I connect the iPod the iPod screen shows the flashing red circle with a line but iTunes never launches and the iPod never syncs.
    iPhone Symptoms: When I connect the iPhone the iPhone screen says Sync in Progress and iTunes does show the iPhone in the list of devices but a dialog appears giving me one of two messages (that I've seen so far) - [msg 1] Your iPhone is corrupt please disconnect then reconnect to restore. [msg 2] iPhone device timed out.
    I've been dealing with this problem for a couple months and found that if I disconnect the printer (HP C4280) then connected either other device then everything works just fine.
    I downloaded XCode 2.5 and launched the USB Prober utility. Then plugged in each device in turn and found some interesting findings.
    When connecting the iPhone (1st attempt) the USB Logger reported; (iTunes displayed msg 1 from above)

    1809.166 [1] AppleUSBEHCI[0x28a7000]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 253, timing out!
    I'm suspicious of the USB Low Power Notice. If this is true then I suspect the my iMac might need some type of repair. However I am also suspicious of USB Device violating the USB Spec Error. Although this is the message that appears when I plug in the iPhone or iPod I don't think I can assume that error relates to the iPod or iPhone. The error doesn't specify which USB Device is in violation.
    My current workaround is to unplug the printer every time I sync the iPhone or iPod which is cumbersome. I'm also worried that repeated connecting/disconnecting of USB plug for the printer will over time damage the USB port.
    I'm not sure what options I have here. Can anyone provide some suggestions or information that might provide some insight.
    Best Regards,
    xgnomex

    A-Ha! Now I'm feeling like my 1.5 hours of reading this forum are not wasted, since I've found others with similar symptoms.
    I've only had my iMac for two weeks today. I've got some new accessories & have experimented with the ones I've had awhile (various USB external drives). My model has 3 USB ports, one of which is taken by the keyboard, of course.
    Over the weekend, I picked up an MS Office 2008 Upgrade and also an HP Officejet Pro L7680 all-in-one. I only mention the Office upgrade because I installed it on the same day as the printer, but it's possibly unrelated.
    I actually have a Belkin 4-port hub--not the same one suggested in this thread, but externally powered with it's own A/C adapter. (It's a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 r-Port Hub, model F5U234 Rev.3, and I used it with a previous iMac G3 CRT with no problem.)
    So with a LaCie 100 GB USB Mobile Drive in one of the iMac's ports, and the HP L7680 in the iMac's third port, or the HP via the Belkin hub in iMacs the third hub, here are some of the symptoms I've seen:
    1) while browsing in Firefox, suddenly the mouse-cursor will "freeze" (get stuck) in a pull-down selector...sometimes it unfreezes, but eventually (like on the next pull-down menu) the keyboard & mouse will shut off (and if you wait & the iMac goes to sleep, the keyboard won't let me enter my unlock password when I wake the iMac with the Apple Remote)
    2) when trying to open a document from the LaCie in MS Word, Word freezes and the keyboard & mouse go dead--terminal beachball--to restart the computer, I have to hold in the power button
    3) when trying to print a message in Mail, Finder freezes (though the print job does finish)
    These symptoms seem strange! Hey, it's just supposed to work, right? But everything has limits, so my question becomes, "how much stuff can I hook up at once?"
    I wonder if this Apple article is addressing this issue:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25243
    especially when it says "Two high-bandwidth devices or two isochronous devices cannot be connected to a single Universal Serial Bus (USB)."
    So only two hi-speed USB devices can be connected "to the same bus" simultaneously? I'm not entirely sure I understand what "isochronous" means, but I'm thinking I need to peel my printer off the USB somehow, maybe via Airport Express--?
    Does anyone know for sure about USB limitations? Thanks.
    Also, xgnomex, how/where did you find that "USB Logger"? Is that something iPhone-specific, or is it an OS X log in a Library somewhere?

  • New Lexar USB card reader, X tells me low power

    The card reader worked fine yesterday.
    Today, no matter where I plug it in (usb port) or the keyboard, OS X pops up a window telling me there is low power for this device. Therefore, I can not mount the CF card in the Lexar card reader.
    This card didn't have any installers. Should I look for some on their webpage?
    I guess I should have bought the Sandisk card reader, about the same price, eh?
    Should I start looking for my receipt to trade it for the Sandisk card reader?

    Lexar USB card reader is: Model RW022 Rev A
    I did contact Lexar using their 24 hour live chat on their webpage. An excerpt from the conversation is pasted below. I wrote "Lexar" and "me" to hide identities of those involved.
    Lexar: we are sorry to say that, our card reader is compatible with USB 1.0, USB 2.0.
    Lexar: not compatible with 1.0
    me: so the card reader is not compatible with 1.0 on a Mac
    Lexar: exactly.
    Lexar: not compatible with USB 1.0
    me: ok, thanx
    Lexar: is there any thing else i need to assist you.
    me: yes, what versions of Mac OS is this card reader compatibvle with?
    Lexar: this reader RW022 is compatible with MAC tiger.
    me: from your webpage this card reader is compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
    me: http://www.lexar.com/readers/compactflash-2.html
    me: All Macs, even older ones, were USB 1.1
    Lexar: all lexar products are compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 only.
    me: My mac is USB 1.1
    Lexar: then it will work.
    The conversation went on and Lexar asked for time to research this, which I told them to take all the time they needed.
    In the end though, Lexar asked me if I had it connected to the keyboard, and I answered yes, and they said it should be connected to the tower.
    So I'm assuming connecting the card reader to the Apple keyboard doesn't have enough power (as the keyboard and Pro Mouse are also using the power there). They told me it should work if connected to the tower. I thanked them and said I'd try that.
    So I'm assuming that this card reader should either be connected to the Cube directly (without turning it over I hope I have 3 USB ports under there) or to a better USB port that is powered (than what I have) so that the card reader gets plenty of power. In the past, I simply connected my very old CF reader [in OS 9.x] to the keyboard (like I do my scanner) and it worked.
    Do most card readers need to be connected to the "tower" or to a powered usb port?

  • Low power on USB port for external hard drive

    Hi all!
    I'm new here and I have some question about my brand new hybrid - HP Envy x2.
    Couple days ago i found an issue that usb ports are powered by from motherboard even when tablet with dock is turned off or in hibernation mode. This is problematic when I leave device with plugged usb hub, external HD, speakers (powered from usb port) and mouse. After 8 hours in work when I go back home I saw that battery is about 10-15% lower than before leaving Envy x2. I disabled USB charge mode in BIOS, but after that I have problem with working of my external HD.
    When I try to attach hard drive to computer and then I try to turn it on nothing happens - looks like system (Windows 8.1) can't boot. But after immediate unplugging HDD from USB system goes to procedure of starting. I also tried to plug Toshiba HD after turning on my Envy x2 and being in desktop, but nothing happens. Light on HD is blinking, I can hear from it sound like clicking (trying to start?). Also HD is visible in Device Manager but not in My Computer (as additional partition).
    I have tried to change boot options in BIOS by positioning of devices (priority to boot from CD ROM, HDD, OS etc.) but did not fixed problem. 
    After couple of tests provided to found why my HD did not work properely in disabled USB charge mode I know that USB port did not give minimum value of power from supply. I found cable with one plug on one side, and with two plugs on other side (like "Y" type). Then i plugged one end into first USB port, then second end in second USB port and finally - last end of cable to m HD and booooom! It works!
    Here is my question: Is there any ability to change that kind of power supply on USB ports? I want to power mu external hard drive from one USB port, not from two. I have USB hub but don't want to use two USB ports (on the opposite positions of docking station) and additional USB cable. I have the most recent BIOS (F12) and all fresh drivers installed on my computer.
    Any solutions?

    I am not going to take credit for this. I had a similar problem, but all of my USB ports stopped working for EVERYTHING!

    Also do we have any doc which explains port-config link events
    Please advise

    - What kind of SFP's ? colored ? or short wave ? 1G FC ?
    - what kind of WDM system ? DWDM, CWDM ?
    - what is the distance between the 2 sites ?
    - it seems that the received signal is too weak, the link is flapping !

  • MBP low power shut down with no warning

    In the past, I’ve always been able to rely on a warning window that would remind me my laptop battery was running low and that the screen would be dimmed to conserve energy. Suddenly, that warning is gone...I’ll be merrily cranking along on something (without continually looking at the battery level to notice it’s waning) when BAM. The low battery level triggers a full shutdown with no warning.
    I can’t begin to tell you how many documents and changes have been lost in the past few weeks since this began....
    This is limited to low battery situations. It doesn’t happen any other time. There’s no pattern to which apps are open at the time.
    Any ideas where my warnings went and how to get them back again?
    Thanks!

    Depends on how long you've being using the battery without complete discharge and then recharge, the battery meter may become inaccurate, and that's probably why your Mac didn't realize the low power and didn't give you warning.
    You can re-calibrate the battery meter by a complete discharge immediately follow by a complete charge. Make sure you charge it right after the discharge, otherwise it may went to a protected mode that need to be revived. Note that you should only do this occasionally, keep it charged in usual usage.
    If this doesn't seem to work, maybe you should call Applecare.
